Art Fundraiser Workshops
Bring your community together, support your mission, and raise funds through a hands-on art experience with Express Yourself Studios.
We partner with nonprofits, schools, charities, and community organizations to deliver engaging, mobile art fundraiser workshops. We bring the instructor and all materials to your venue, while your organization manages the space, promotion, registration, and ticket sales.
How It Works
Your organization selects a workshop and sets the ticket price.
Express Yourself Studios charges a per-person workshop rate. Your organization keeps the difference.
Example:
- Studio rate: $50 per person
- Ticket price: $75 per person
- Profit: $25 per ticket
With 25 attendees, your organization earns $625.
Minimum: 15 paid participants required.
